Get your daily motivation that will lead to success in your life. The regular content covers the crucial areas for self improvement: law of attraction, positive thinking, successful projection, and overcoming procrastination.
Every day we wake up with the promise to do more today, to achieve something that we want to get done, yet every day something happens that gets in the way of fulfilling that promise to ourselves, so maybe its time to learn to start the day right ?
Over the last few weeks, we discussed how action is the bridge from the invisible to the visible world. It is what takes an idea and makes it reality. Sadly, most fall short at this phase of their progress. Fear in the form of procrastination takes over resulting in self-sabotage. Moving ahead in an active manner is crucial to our success.I often mention having a list of things that you want to get done on a particular day. This helps to visually see all that you are trying to accomplish. Many suggest using this technique for personal success. However, I find that there is a thought that says start with the hardest activity first. Thus, if you complete the difficult tasks, your day will be complete even if all is not done.
Do you think you are trust worthy ? Are you someone who can be relied on ? Can you be the person who others come to in times of troubles and stress ? Many of us think we are trustworthy because we don't steal and we don't lie, but what do other people think we are ?
Everyone wants to be trusted. It is something that many crave without even being aware of it. In fact, the majority of people believe they are trustworthy. And in some regards they are. However, there are many ways in which they are not.
It begins with how we view trust. In other words, what is our basic definition of trust. I would say that most look at it as being honest. They are trustworthy because they will not steal from you. I believe this makes them honest, not necessarily trustworthy. Nevertheless, for their definition, they are trustworthy.
A lot is said about making a better life for yourself, following your hearts desire, making things happen in your life that you want to, but not much is said about how to achieve these things, how do we take a feeling, a thought, an idea and make it right for us ?
Here is a simple system for success in any area of life. Following these three steps will ensure you move forward in a consistent manner in the direction that you prefer. In the end, you will achieve what you desire in life.
Few people spend time thinking about what they truly want in life. Many are following the dreams that others set down for them. They made a decision to pursue a particular path at 17 or 18 and find themselves in the same profession decades later. Each day is justified by pointing to the fact that "I do alright at it". Never do they consider what truly inspires them. http://dennisharting.blogspot.com/2009/03/think-act-adjust.html
Do you ever spend more time thinking about whether to do something than actually doing it ? Do you dither as to where to go and what to do ? Can you make a snap decision and know it is the right one, and if it isn't can you alter your course to make things work for you ? So many people spen their lives not knowing what to do, being indecisive, they can't make up their minds on most things
This is one of the states with is guaranteed to lead to failure. When people are indecisive, they fail to take action. It is impossible to be focused and bold when one is torn mentally. This is something that you will want to eliminate from your life.
It is impossible to make the correct decision in every situation. Part of the human experience is making mistakes. Yet, too many allow their fear of making the wrong decision hinder them from making one at all. There is a saying, "no decision is a decision". Being indecisive is a path that leads to failure.
Are you the type of person who takes something said to heart or do you let it slide off you and carry on ? Do you let problems and worries control you or do you control them ? How tough are you really ?
John Gotti, the head of the Gambino crime family, was known as the Teflon Don because none of the first few indictments against him stuck. In other words, the charges of the prosecution bounced off him. This brings me to today's lesson. Do you have teflon insides or do you let things get to you? This is a very important question pertaining to emotional stability. Your answer shows how you are able to handle things.
From the time we wake up till the time we go back to bed, most of us will at some time or another be told what to do, how to do it, when to do it, now I know if we are employed then those people in higher positions than us will have the 'right' as it was to dictate to us, but think about it........ how often do others tell you what to do ? How often do they dictate to you with regards to your life ? and you let them.....why ?
This is the mindset that you need to acquire if you are going excel in these trying times. It is obvious that the world is in a turmoil like we never saw before. Economically, we might be confronted with the worst situation in the last 3 generations. There is little that is encouraging about what is coming down the road. The prevailing belief is that times will get worse before they get better.
That being said, I hope that most realize what the cost of depending upon someone else is. Everyday we are seeing lessons of people who put their trust in another only to be let down. Take all the people who worked in the financial sector. Hundreds of thousands of them lost their jobs because of the financial crisis. Even if they were superior employees, they are out looking for work. Another example is the automobile industry. People operated under the belief the union would take care of them. Sadly, if the companies go out of business, the employees are out of luck.
How many times have you said you are fed up with something ? That enough is enough ? Yet still accepted what is done or said ? How far does someone/something have to go before you put your foot down and draw the line in the sand and say No More ?
Is it time to draw the "line in the sand" with your life? We have spoke the last few days about beliefs and determining what is acceptable to us. Now it the time where we say "no more".
I was heard a gentleman share that to change we all need to get 100% of our own pain. He is an advocate that pain is the primary motivator in people's lives. I, too, found this to be true. People will do more to avoid pain then they will do for pleasure. It seems to be part of human nature.
What is most important to you ? When faced with difficult decisions and events that may change your life then we finally realise what is important to us, and not always in a good way.
Life has a habit of throwing curve balls at us, but it is how we deal with these problems that make us the people we are, or the people we want to be
I heard of a situation that a friend of mine is confronted with. I will begin by saying that I do not have all the details since I heard this second handed but I feel the lesson is still the same. It really helps to put things in perspective.
Death is something that we are all confronted with. In the duration of our lives, we only are granted so much time on this planet. How we choose to utilize that time is a decision we are each allotted. Nevertheless, we only get one chance at this thing. In the end, we all pass away.
As a race we really tend to complicte things, projecting our thoughts into the future, trying to weigh up the pros ad cons of each choice we need to make, and for what ? What reason ? Only very rarely are those choices ones of life or death so why do we complicate things so much ?
We all complicate the hell out of life. When you think about it, life is rather simple. There are only a few basics that need remembering. After that, throw the rest away.Life is simple. You just make a series of choices and never look back. How profound. Did you ever consider how basic our existence really is? Yet, people foul this up by complicating the entire situation. http://dennisharting.blogspot.com/2009/03/life-is-simple.html
We live in a world that is full of amazing things, cultures and beliefs that are so different from ours, that does not make them right or wrong, just different. How often have you opened your mind to what is out there ? How often do you close your eyes and imagine what your life would be like in another place ?
I like to write about mindset on this blog. One of my favorite pastimes is to learn/study different cultures of the world. It is amazing how much you can learn from this practice.
There is a large world out there. Too often, we get so focused upon our own "little world" that we see in front of us. Realizing that there is so much more removes the mental limitation we often put upon ourselves.
People always talk about making changes, taking a stand in the quest to achieve something that they wish in their lives, but a lot of the time it is just that, talk, well now is the time to be bold, take that step, make things happen and start to improve your life http://dennisharting.blogspot.com/2009/03/be-bold.html
If you want something to focus upon in your daily life which will change your journey, it is boldness. People who are highly successful tend to do things in bold ways. This is one of the major things that separates them from others.
Have you ever seen a meek person? This is someone who appears to be afraid of his or her shadow. Every action that person takes is tentative. It is almost as if they are unsure of themselves.
What is it you want more than anything else in the world? What is the "dream" that you carry with you on a daily basis? If an idea for your entire life is too much, what do you want to see happen in the next 6-12 months?
There is so much talk of goals that they can get diluted. The fact is that an overriding goal is what provides passion in our life. It is the basis of all obsession. People who feel that strongly about something will do whatever they can to make it come true. That is a person who cannot be stopped.
How many times a day do you find yourself saying, " I will get to that later " and then finding later never comes ? Or saying you need to do such and such but never getting around to it ? All to often we can talk a good talk but fail to walk the walk as they say.
this article describes it better than I can
It is what you do, not what you say, that matters. Many can talk a good game. Few actually are able to do what they say. The percentage of the "doers" dwarfs the "talkers".
Action is the key to success. All the planning is wasted if not followed up by action. Those who are able to act tend to achieve their goals. Failure to act is what sabotages many from living their dream life.
I wrote a number of times how action is what takes something from the invisible world and makes it visible. An idea resides on the invisible plane. For us to enjoy success, this needs to transform itself in the material world. Action is the ingredient which makes that happen.
There are many ways to change your life, many things we can do to improve what we have and indeed to get the courage to go for what we want, all of these take commitment and self belief from us, here are some tips and hints on how to start that process, I hope you enjoy it
Most people want to change their life. However, they do not know where to begin. The problem is that human beings are creatures of habit and many find the habits they have do not lead them to a successful outcome. So I put together a list of 20 things you can do today which will change your life. Some of the things will alter your life path in the long term while others will change how you feel in the moment. Both have an impact of the degree of fulfillment we experience.
1. Turn off the t.v.
People are hypnotized by this device. Most of what we watch is intellectually empty. A periodic escape from life is healthy. However, too many spend hours each day flipping through the channels trying to find something worthwhile. Also, there is a great deal of negativity on the television. Turn it off and regain lost time while improving your attitude.
Is your glass half empty or half full ? Is it a glorious hot day or is it hotter than hell ? Do you see something as a bargain or as a waste ? How we look at things can impact our lives in so many different ways without us even knowing
This is one of the fundamental differences between those who succeed versus those who struggle. Successful people have a different perspective than the average person. It is this viewpoint which allows them to take the actions others fail to take.Einstein said that a problem could not be solved on the same plane that created it. Human beings tend to "pigeonhole" their ideas. We believe that what we perceive is correct. Sadly, this mindset is often the cause of great discomfort in our life.
Many people play safe, they live their lives in a comfort zone as they think it will be the safest option, but what they fail to see is that there is uncertainty and fear in safety as well
GO FOR IT .............
This is a motto that is becoming more appropriate with each passing day. With the economic situation the way it is, people are going to have to take some chances if they hope to succeed. Playing it safe is rapidly becoming a recipe for failure. Just ask all those people who lost their jobs in the last few months due to the economic conditions. Safety is an illusion.
We seem to spend our whole lives chasing something, rushing everywhere, never stopping to actually enjoy what we have. Everyone needs time to relax, time to stop and smell the roses as they say.
Stress is one of the leading killers in the United States today. We see diseases associated with this condition on the increase. The fact that people are under more pressure is starting to take its toll on the population at large. There, it is important for us to do all we can to reverse this trend in our lives.
Man was made to rest. Each night, we put ourselves in a state where we recharge our batteries. For the period of 6-8 hours, the body is revitalized through sleep. Failure to take this time causes negative effects on the body (and life). This downtime is crucial to our long-term well being.
Though your path be dreary,
Though your load be heavy,
Though your heart be weary,
Don't give up,
There is much you can do,
You have the strength to see things through,
It is only in your darkest moment,
That your true strength is revealed,
You are here for a reason,
Don't become a victim of life's ravaging seasons,
Though the lessons may cause lesions to your soul,
Don't fall into the despairing black hole,
There are many that love you,
There are many that care,
Reach out
You will find somebody there.
There are many times that I find myself growling in anger, usually directed at myself and things I have failed to do or tried and failed at, but after reading the following article, I think I should not be so hard on myself
Everyone gets angry periodically. There are simply certain things in life which irritate us. This feeling is magnified when the anger is caused by something we, ourselves, did. In others words, we are peeved at ourselves.
My study of human behavior leads me to believe that people will not make changes until they have felt enough emotional pain. It is sad to say but pain is a better motivator for change than pleasure. People will only take a different path once they suffered enough.
A prime example is the alcoholic. This person's drinking is a problem long before he or she admits it. Others around that person see it. However, the alcoholic will not seek recovery until he or she felt enough pain. Only then will the new path be forged.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim; If your can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings — nor lose your common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And — which is more — you'll be a Man, my son!!
This is a question that we never seem to answer, just how important is it ? That job that 'must' be done now, that 'important person' that you just have to squeeze into an already busy day, even that trip to the shop to get that ' must have' item, just how important is it really ?
This is one of the most powerful questions that you can ask yourself. It is the foundation for emotional maturity. Being in control is what allows us to get through the day-to-day ups and downs of life. Those who "lose it" tend to fail in their different endeavors.
Much of life depends upon our interpersonal skills. Getting along with others is paramount for success. Maturity is being able to progress forward even when things are not going your way. Here is a fact of life: things will go wrong. You will not always come up on the winning side. Yet, persevering is one of the fundamental qualities of success.
Are you feeling like life isn’t exciting enough? That maybe you’re missing out on something because you just can’t get motivated for anything? Turns out you’re not alone.
What a tough question! How do you get excited about life?
I have to admit that this is not only a common problem, but one of the toughest. I’ve gone through times in my life when nothing seemed exciting. Dreams seemed utterly hopeless and useless. Motivation was a hard currency to come by.
So what changed? What got me excited by life?
There’s no one answer. What follows is a series of things that worked for me, in no particular order … I should note that some of these may sound trite, but they actually do work, for me and for countless others:
We look at things around us and at times become overwhelmed at the intensity of life in general, every problem and every step we take seems to be so huge, but when you think about it, really its not that big, look around you, the world is just one small planet in the galaxy, there is so much more out there, and when looked at it that way, there is so much more in our lives out there waiting for us .....................
I write a lot about focus. Often, the most successful people have the ability to concentrate their focus like a laser beam. This is one of the things that separates then from the pack. However, there is a time when we need to step back to look at things from a different perspective.
Last night, I came home and flipped on the television. There was a rocket being shown on the launching pad at NASA. Being so close, I decided to go outside and watch it. Rockets launched at night are an amazing display. I personally saw the shuttle go up at night half a dozen times. It is always amazing to see that in person.
What really creates success? What makes one different to another ? People are basically the same yet some achieve greatness, some don't and the reasons are really simple when you think about it, and this article can say it much better than I could ever hope to
This is a question that has plagued mankind since the earliest of times. What is it that separates those who achieve from those who do not? There are thousands upon thousands of books written on the subject; all utilizing a different theory. Some believe it is motivation; others mindset. However, what is the one thing that really creates success?
Through my years of research, I understand there is a common trait among those who are successful. I believe this is the single factor which determines success. Concentrate on this quality and you will attain all that you set out to do. This trait is "action".
